A solid and linear young wine with blackcurrant and berry character, a medium to full body and a savoury finish. Another excellent, young Chasse-Spleen.
92-94 pts - Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
The 2016 Chasse-Spleen has a very elegant bouquet with neatly integrated oak, the terroir really showing through here, hints of cedar and smoke emerging with time. The palate is fresh as a button on the entry. It is cut through with a superb line of acidity that engenders superb tension, the tannins firm but fine with a subtle marine influence towards the persistent finish. This is a fabulous Chasse-Spleen, the best I have ever tasted from the estate. It could end up at the top of by banded score.
